How Staying in Flow Keeps You Grounded When the World Spins

I’ve found that the moments when we most crave answers—when life is tilted sideways, upside down, or completely unrecognizable—are actually the moments when answers aren’t what we need. What we long for is steadiness. Coherence. A sense of staying in flow, even when it feels like everything around us is moving in all the wrong directions.

And I’ll tell you something surprising: flow doesn’t care which side is up.

Reconnective Healing® offers a way to return to that state of steadiness, not by doing more, fixing things, or even understanding why life feels like a mess—but by entering the Frequencies and letting presence take the wheel.

We don’t earn balance by figuring things out. We reveal balance by being willing to be present.

That’s the gift of staying in flow.

Flow Is Not About Being Right-Side Up

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, often referred to as the father of flow, defined this state as “being completely involved in an activity for its own sake.” No striving, no comparing—just being fully present. You can read more about his pioneering work here.

But flow, as I’ve come to recognize it through the Reconnective Healing Frequencies™, isn’t limited to action or performance. It’s not something you achieve. It’s something you allow.

And it shows up best when you stop chasing it.

People often ask me how to “stay in flow” when nothing in their life looks like it’s going well. My answer? You don’t stay in flow by holding it tightly. You remain available to it by relaxing into coherence—the natural harmony that emerges when you're not resisting what is.

Reconnective Healing: Stability Without Clinging

Staying in flow, especially through Reconnective Healing, means embracing a quality of presence that allows reality to move through you, not crash into you. It doesn’t mean the chaos disappears. It means you’re not defined by it.

There’s a difference between enduring a storm and becoming the storm. Presence is what draws that line.

The Frequencies don’t come with instructions. There’s no manual that tells you which hand movement brings more flow. There’s no magic combination that gets you the result you’re hoping for. Instead, you enter into a natural state of coherence—and from that place, everything stabilizes.

Even when nothing makes sense.

Especially when nothing makes sense.

If you’ve already experienced the energy of Reconnective Healing, you know this. If you haven’t, you can begin to experience it right now through the Presence Meditations.

How to Stay in Flow When Life Flips

This isn’t a to-do list. There’s no goal at the end of this. But if you’re looking for orientation when disoriented, try this:

• Feel the Floor.
  Not metaphorically—literally. Whether you're sitting, lying down, or pacing your kitchen with your third cup of coffee, pause and feel the ground. It doesn’t need to fix anything. It’s just there. Like presence itself.
• Let Coherence Replace Control.
  Coherence is not about forcing all your ducks into a row. It’s the subtle alignment that emerges when you stop directing the orchestra and start listening to the music. The Frequencies bring you into that listening.
• Stop Trying to Flow.
  Flow resists pursuit. It’s not something you can command. But it’s always something you can receive. The Reconnective Healing Frequencies respond to your awareness—not your effort.
• Be With, Not Against.
  When everything feels upside down, we tend to resist, react, or retreat. What if you just stood still and noticed? Being with what is—without adding your own edits—is often the most powerful form of presence.
• Return to Simplicity.
  The more complex life feels, the more essential simplicity becomes. A breath. A sensation. A Reconnective Healing® session. Or just one quiet moment with no agenda. Simplicity brings you back to staying in flow.

Staying in Flow Isn’t About Winning the Day

Sometimes people come to Reconnective Healing because they think it will “fix” something—pain, confusion, a life transition that feels like a free fall. But staying in flow doesn’t mean that things suddenly stop spinning.

It means you stop measuring your life by whether they spin or not.

Coherence isn’t the result of having it together. It’s the recognition that everything is already together—even if it looks messy.

That’s the paradox. That’s the peace.

And that’s why I always say: flow doesn’t care which side is up.

Why The Portal Still Matters

If you’ve been feeling the pull to deepen your connection with this experience—or you’re just beginning to sense that something is here for you—I invite you to spend time with The Portal: Reconnective Healing® Online Essentials Course.

The Portal isn’t about becoming something more. It’s about remembering what’s already whole.

It’s a calm, simple way to begin interacting with the Reconnective Healing Frequencies, wherever you are, in whatever state you're in.

No outcome to chase. No “better” version of you to become.

Just presence.

And the quiet reminder that stability doesn’t arrive from the outside in—it emerges from the inside out.

The Real You Doesn’t Tip Over

The you that lives in awareness, coherence, and presence doesn’t lose balance—even when the world does.

You’ve probably noticed this in your own life. Those moments of stillness in the midst of chaos. A sudden calm in the middle of a hard day. A sense of clarity that arrives before the answer.

That’s flow.
That’s presence.
That’s the Frequencies meeting you where you are.

Reconnective Healing doesn’t ask you to hold it together. It invites you to stop pretending you’re broken in the first place.

And when you drop into that space—when you stop grasping, fixing, or understanding—you’ll find that staying in flow was never about mastering the mess.

It was about recognizing the you who’s always steady, always present, and always whole.
